I have just returned from dinner with bill. We ate at a local pub about 5 miles out of the village. I’m fast developing a taste for eating out, but it’s not cheap so I’ll do it once a week now I have bill. Living with my parents is cool, and mum remains the best cook on earth, but its as if I’m finally experiencing the cosmopolitan life I always dreamed of.

Ironically, students here complain that there’s so little to do here. This is probably true for people used to going out into big cities every night, and not having to face the hassle of mobility problems. But for me, the close environment of campus is ideal, with everything within walking / controlled falling distance. It feels awesome to be able to come and go as I please. Its great to have bill to take me places.

Ok, this may not be political and social commentary, but for a blog of a disabled person, it is entirely pertinent and should be said.
